His position was doomed,was my only thoughtand this soldier's brave standwould all be for naught.

The guardsman stared unblinking,silent and alone,his lasrifle at the readyagainst his shoulder bone.

His gaze was so calmin the face of calamity,the perfect picture ofa guardsman of humanity.

Who was this brave herowhose position I'd spied,warring againstthis unstoppable tide?

I now knew that all humansI would see this night,owed their lives to these guardsmenwho were willing to fight.

Soon all round the galaxythe children would play,and grownups would praisethe bright Emperor's Day.

They all lived their livesevery month of the year,Because of brave guardsmenlike the one standing here.

A tear came to my eyefor those who stood alone,on a cold Emperor's Day Eveon a planet far from home.

Their great sacrificesI could never betraySo I drew my burning swordto join in the fray

The soldier did turnand I heard a rough voice."My Emperor, rest easy,this death is my choice;

I fight for a freedomthat may never be found,but not ever shall I waveron Your sacred ground."

Then the Guardsman turnedto face the incursionsof the foul xenos andtheir unholy perversions

I kept watch for hours,until the night was stilland the guardsman lay brokenon the bloody red hill.

I could not just leaveon that cold grim dark night,this guardian of honorso willing to fight.

And as the guardsman lay dying,his soul strong and pure,he cried, "Ave Imperator!It's Emperor's Day! This world is secure!"

I kneeled before the fallen,A great victory he'd won."Happy Emperor's Day my guardsman,rest in peace, my son."
